TESTIMONIALS
Erin's book was engaging, honest, and filled with humor, even while discussing the very real challenges she has faced. Her authenticity made a lasting impression on me. I finished the book in one day and found it refreshingly honest, insightful, and incredibly educational.
One of the greatest strengths of this book is how accessible it is for readers who may have little to no background in mental health. I read it aloud to my husband, who had very limited exposure to mental illness before joining our family, and it opened up meaningful conversations we hadn’t been able to fully articulate before. The book gave us language, perspective, and concrete tools for showing up in supportive, healthy ways.
I am bipolar and this book really spoke to me. It's both fascinating to read, and responsible. It is full of resources and help for those with bipolar. Oh, and what wonderful parents she has! So incredibly supportive and loving. This book will stay in my heart for a long, long time.
